Summary: One of my favorite resources for my severely allergic child
Comment: When my child was first diagnosed I ordered twenty different recipe/cookbooks for special diets/allergies. This is one of 2 that I actually use frequently. The recipes are simple and my child likes them. The information on substituting ingredients and creating safe versions of forbidden items is excellent. Most of all I found the author's attitude and sense of humor very liberating and empowering. Reading this book always makes me feel that I can do this. It's an excellent starter book to help a parent or the newly diagnosed person with food allergies to get control of their diet and attitude. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Not worth it
Comment: If you are already a healthy cooker you do not need this book.
If you are not using fresh ingredients you will be offended by this book. Plus, you might find more allergies in your baby than she really have after reading it.

Summary: Good resource for substitutions
Comment: This book has helped the most when I need a substitution or need help reading labels for all the many names which food allergens hide under. In this respect, I think the book is the best. I did find the authors writing style to be somewhat offensive to those of us who are entering the cooking scene. She has a way of making readers feel bad for not homecooking every morsel our children ingest. Also, I found that many of the main and side dish recipes were pretty standard fare. Like I stated earlier though, her substitution list and label names under which the allergens are hiding is very helpful as I read labels at the supermarket. I find alot of prepared products which are allergy free for my child by reading labels carefully and the lists and resources in this book are indispensible for that purpose.
